Anvil crawler lightning, sometimes called spider lightning, is created when leaders propagate through horizontally-extensive charge regions in mature thunderstorms, usually the stratiform regions of mesoscale convective systems. These discharges usually begin as IC discharges originating within the convective region; the negative leader end ...
Lightning-induced magnetic anomalies can be mapped in the ground, [121] [122] and analysis of magnetized materials can confirm lightning was the source of the magnetization [123] and provide an estimate of the peak current of the lightning discharge.

The slight branching redness traveling up this person's leg was created by current from a nearby lightning strike. A Lichtenberg figure (German: Lichtenberg-Figur ), or Lichtenberg dust figure , is a branching electric discharge that sometimes appears on the surface or in the interior of insulating materials .
Lightning created a stunning display over Wallace, Florida, on Sunday, August 7, new footage shows.Video captured by self-described weather enthusiast Treyce Jones shows streaks of lightning ...
When a sufficiently large positive lightning strike carries charges to the ground, the cloud top is left with a strongly negative net charge. This can be modeled as a quasi-static electric dipole and for less than 10 milliseconds a strong electric field is generated in the region above the thunderstorm.
